Cool to see someone from Alaska

[@KingDomsKingdom85]

That's what i thought too, Alaska is the only state I'm itching to visit in America as the people all seem really friendly and their surroundings are stunningly beautiful.

[@anarcticeskimo]

Made me proud to be from Alaska, from Kotzebue and to be Inupiaq watching this

[@josephgarcia4565]

Frost bite your lungs!? Geez! My brother was stationed in Alaska he never told me about that one.

[@matthewcooper2928]

Probably stationed in Anchorage. Living above the Arctic Circle is different.

[@howtokillu]

I'm from kotz cool to see goodluck

[@JongYi]

I saw his loss coming from a mile away. There are levels to this game and some of them are worn on the sleeve.

[@anthonylopez9584]

I knew this guy was burnt toast ,once everyone on his team just kept saying he has a good right hand for 10 minutes, dude is 5-1 with no KOs

[@TehNiCoLaS]

And then they started talking about his wrestling pedigree and the guy goes “ i was only taken down maybe once or twice during my.... HIGHSCHOOL CAREER” lmfao bro what???? Where did dana find this dude

He apparently been doing MMA only fro 2 yours. And is self taught by youtube lol

[@jwinston1995]

Lmao i was trying so hard to believe i might be shocked by the end. He actually was flowing pretty well after the first 90 seconds. But yea, levels

[@heckalydalii200]

@@jwinston1995 ehh not really besides landing some kicks he was kinda slow. Like when he tried to counter other dudes jab , the other guy brought his hand back to his face way before he counterd back his timing was off so was his grappling

[@KingDomsKingdom85]

Why haven't BT Sports also got the rights for this? Both are subscription based services and i would've thought BT would've wanted to air this too.

[@Teddyisoffline]

They did it was on at 9 30pm

@@Teddyisoffline hooray!!! Thanks for the heads up mate as I've just checked the app and its now on there. I wouldn't have bothered looking again if it weren't for you, thanks again pal 🥋🤙

Didn’t he just lose?

[@johnmullis1020]

Yes

[@renato.bakaadv]

Wait what... the guy train with KZbin?

[@a1d5]

so did Jon jones lol. Obviously doesn't work for everyone.

[@waalex11]

I had already figured out he lost from the trailer, but I expected him to lose as someone who's mostly self-taught through KZbin. Considering, he seems fairly good, but lost on this one.

[@toadb]

Guy who trained through KZbin v walking zombie

[@larsnootbaarfann]

Both guys were trash lets be honest

[@a1d5]

oh you gonna cook em to the bone?

[@SonGokuuuuuuu]

Cancel the season

[@lilbonz805]

He went to a jr college and wrestled and thought he was ready for the big leagues?

[@t.d.mcinturff1712]

Jon Jones wrestled at a junior college..

[@lilbonz805]

this guy ain’t no Jon Jones lol

[@t.d.mcinturff1712]

@@lilbonz805 Did I say he was? Your point was he wasn't ready for the "big leagues" because he wrestled juco. I merely pointed out that the greatest MMA fighter of all time wrestled juco.

Sounds terrible lol
